Cannabis Products in India: The Four Formats, Explained Simply

Oils, gummies, capsules and concentrated extract - what each format is, how they are dosed, and who each one suits.

Legal cannabis products in India come in four main formats: oils, gummies, capsules and concentrated extract. They differ less in what is inside them than in how precisely you can measure a dose and how quickly the format behaves.

General information, not legal or medical advice. Cannabis products in India are regulated and, where medicinal, prescription-only. Vijaya (cannabis leaf extract) should be used only under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner. Prices checked 15 August 2026 and change often.

What cannabis products can you legally buy in India?

Ayurvedic preparations made from the cannabis leaf — Vijaya — manufactured under an AYUSH licence. That covers oils, gummies, capsules, concentrated extracts and topicals. It does not cover the flowering tops or resin, which remain prohibited under the NDPS Act.

Which format is easiest to dose?

Oil, and it is not close. A graduated dropper lets you adjust one drop at a time, so a practitioner-advised amount can be matched precisely. Kushiva's oils are standardised at 200 mg of extract per millilitre, and the free dropper calculator converts milligrams into drops.

Gummies are the opposite trade: fixed portions, no adjustment, but nothing to measure and nothing to spill.

How long does each format take?

Oils held under the tongue are the faster of the two common formats; edibles are slow by design because they pass through digestion first. Kushiva's product pages state the expected window for each, and the pack directions are the authority. The practical rule with any edible is not to take more because nothing has happened yet.

What do cannabis products cost in India?

Entry prices across the market run from about Rs 999 to Rs 2,549, and the top of the range passes Rs 10,000. Kushiva's four products are Rs 1,199 and Rs 2,490 for the 10 ml and 30 ml oils, Rs 3,550 for a pack of ten cannabis gummies, and Rs 3,500 for the 5 g extract.

Every brand's listed prices sit in the price index.

Full-spectrum or isolate?

Full-spectrum keeps the leaf's natural range of compounds; an isolate strips it to a single molecule. Neither is universally better, and which suits you is a practitioner's call. Kushiva sells full-spectrum only, which is a deliberate choice and does mean we have no THC-free option — several rivals do.

Do I need a prescription to buy them?

For ingestible formats, yes. You can upload a prescription you already hold, or have one arranged after ordering. Nothing ships until a registered practitioner has seen the order. How ordering works sets out each step.

How do I choose between them?

Ask two questions. Do you need to adjust the amount finely, or is a fixed portion simpler for you? And will you actually take it — because taste is the most common reason a bottle goes unfinished. If you are unsure, the format finder resolves it in about a minute, and it picks a format, never a dose.

About the author

Bhavya writes the Kushiva Journal, covering cannabis research, Indian regulation and product testing. Claims in these articles are checked against primary sources - peer-reviewed papers, Indian government texts and published lab reports - and those sources are linked inline so you can read them yourself rather than take our word for it.

The Kushiva Journal is written by a wellness company that sells cannabis leaf extract. We are not doctors, and nothing here is a diagnosis or a treatment plan. Vijaya is prescription-regulated in India, and every order we dispatch goes through a medical review for that reason. Where the evidence does not support a benefit, we say so.
